I don't understand all these lattes frapuccinos cappuccinos. I understand tea, coffee, hot chocolate. What the flip is an espresso. I haven't ever been to starbucks. I don't really like hot drinks too much, and if I do get something, it's from Costa, a hot chocolate in the winter.

Signature caramel hot chocolate, whip and extra caramel sauce. Usually a tall or grande... A venti would send me so hyper! And a BLT if I decide I'm hungry lol.
The rewards card does come in handy for freebies sometimes. 2 free sachets of Starbucks coffee through my lettterbox? Thanks very muchly

I don't go to pretentious and vastly overpriced coffee shops, so my answer is "nothing".

A cup of coffee should cost you no more than £1, it only costs them pennies to make it FFS - and they should provide free newspapers.

I bet you drink beer though. Think about it. Beer is just water, mass produced in vast factories to boil in some hops, sugar and yeast. A latte or cappacinno is milk, thus much more expensive than water, and the drink is freshly prepared to your liking. Of course the material costs are low, they are a business and that is what you do, whether you're selling coffee, beer, mobile phones or whatever. The fact is, I can enjoy a pint of delicious coffee in pleasant surroundings for much less than a pint of beer in most licensed establishments, and not suffer the associated imbeciles, their smells and their often aggressive behaviour. I've never seen a fight in a coffee shop yet, and many DO provide free newspapers (if you count the Daily Mail anyway).
